    • KioskComm & Digital Signage Show rolls into London

    Author: Digital Signage Central

    21 Sep

    10 Sep 2008 KioskCom Self Service Expo Europe, rolls into London on 1st & 2nd October. In its 3rd year, this European event - like its US coutnerparts - is also running a Digital Signage Show at the same time, to ‘reflect the growing synergy between these two technologies’.

    The kiosk and self-service business is one of the few industries that expects to benefit from the economic downturn - as the pressure on retailers to cut costs and improve customer service plays well to the kiosk industry. The buzz words this year are ‘contactless payment’ and ‘touch or text involvement’. Both concepts employ the additional elements of smart cards or mobile phone, and many are enabled either through Bluetooth or texting services.

    ‘The other big moves happening are the trends towards interactivity in public space digital advertising, and the adoption of electronic shelf-edge labelling. Either way it all purports to a radical shift in the way consumers actually buy products - and a reason to catch up with the technology on show and the seminars on offer. Exhibiting at the show are the likes of 3M, Key Technology, Protouch, Dicoll, Ritall, Verifone, GWD Media, YesPay, Rafi, St Clair, Star Micronics, Box Technologies, New Vision, Storefront.com, Roku, Next Window, Nexcom, Wincor Nixdorf, Ingenico, Freedom Shopping and Working Solutions (Acquire).

    London’s Olympia, UK, 1-2 October Opening Times: Wednesday 1st October 2008: 10:00 – 16:30 Hrs Thursday 2nd October 2008: 10:00 – 16:00 Hrs
